Three weeks in China - West meets East Traveling is one of my passions. I suppose I have my father to thank for my adventuresome nature. As a young man, he was the first to volunteer at testing new motorized ways of racing, flying or boating. It is a wonder he survived to be my father, I’m told, as he wrapped one of the first contraptions, called a motorcycle, around a tree before he was 16. At 17 years of age he was accompanying a new guy named Charles Lindbergh who was chartering the Northwest Territories by air, flying an open cockpit plane across perilous skies.
Fearless, my Daddy was always in “trouble” with my mother, as he would take me along on many of these adventures, as I wasn’t a “tattle-tale” like my older brother. Early morning trips in a plane or boat was the norm, as we would silently explore the world of AIR,WATER, WIND, FIRE, EARTH and METAL. Not speaking but sharing the same interests of the nature. Learn to fly by the “seat of your pants”, he would say. Taking an airplane into a nose dive, or racing a speed boat across open waters, swimming without the dreaded life jacket and diving to the bottom of the lake, just to see what lay beyond the surface was a thrill. Buying artists oil paints for me when I was 6 and giving me teachers to learn. He could paint and draw like a professional, but never had the time, to paint,” because I need to earn a living, he would say.
And so with his adventurism nature in my bones, I continue give myself permission to explore the unknown, traveling to new places and making new friends. Connecting, learning, and sharing good Karma. Here are some photos of my latest adventures with new friends, old friends, and sacred teachers.
